I've been looking at these and found that they all fall short of the listed weight in Krause. To keep it simple, weighed all of the coins that are of the 20 Cent size (1 Mace and 44 Candareens) and found that there was some variability in them (about 4.1 g to 4.8 g) but the average one weighed 4.3 g. Krause lists these as weighing 5.3 g. I assume the whole pile is fake! Too bad, thought I was rich. I now have over 100 "fake" Chinese coins. What should I do with the pile?
